Last night’s Keegan-Michael Key-hosted Saturday Night Live was something of a letdown, considering they had a sketch comedy genius in the house and all. Still, one sketch saw the host (alongside cast member Kenan Thompson, who admonished the monologue crowd that “Kenan” and “Keegan” are two separate people) scoring…

Puerto Rico has launched an investigation into the status of an invasive organism whose behavior may have endangered some of the island’s native turtles: Jake Paul. Specifically—and per TMZ—the territory’s authorities took notice after Paul posted a video of himself and his friends apparently racing in trucks along…

We will admit to a certain unhealthy obsession with wax figurines—possibly on account of Getty Images, which we spend an inordinate chunk of our days trawling through for picture of Bill Maher where he looks like a human being, being absolutely jammed with shots of the things. So when some real wax drama breaks out,…

You’d think that late-night host, comedian, and all-around human joy-fountain Amber Ruffin wouldn’t have to sweat out her quarterly progress report on something as second-nature to the writer and comedian as responsible allyship. After all, she’s Amber! Host of Peacock’s prize entry in the late-night political comedy…

Drivers across the United States have reacted to news of possible gas shortages in proper, level-headed American fashion: Panic-buying more than they need, and making the situation worse for everyone else in the process. While doing so, photos and videos of hoarders stuffing their cars with jerry cans, barrels, and…

While movie star, screenwriter, and weed-and-pottery entrepreneur Seth Rogen’s cuddly stoner pal image may have taken some residual damage lately from his wishy-washy and belated apology for working alongside accused sex creep James Franco, Stephen Colbert still welcomed a visit to The Late Show on Thursday. They…

It was only late January when we first heard about Auldin Maxwell, the 12-year-old boy who won the Guinness World Record for “most Jenga blocks on one vertical Jenga block.” Already, the poor kid’s accomplishment has been destroyed, tumbling to the ground and scattering like oh-so-many freshly knocked over wooden game…

Jesus Christ, Elon Musk is such a goddamn jabroni.

Audrey Francisquini, 28, has been arrested for the crime of trying to relive her youth—and get a bunch of new Instagram followers in the process. In a scheme so perfectly harebrained that it feels like it drifted out of some parallel, cartoon logic dimension, this adult woman decided that the best way to grow her…

Look, something has to work, right? As America endures a first quarter of 2021 featuring more than one mass shooting per day (and yes, you read that right), gun control advocates and people who just plain don’t want to have to have a gun-death funeral black outfit pressed at all times can start to feel a little numb…

Last Sunday, @robwormald tweeted a video that showed a Bengal tiger strolling around a Houston neighborhood while an off-duty cop tried to, we guess, arrest the big cat by pointing a gun and yelling “no, sir!” at it over and over. This video was the tip of the iceberg in a story that continued with the tiger’s…

Last Sunday, as professional golfers blithely competed in the 2021 Wells Fargo Championship, something momentous happened: A new water monster announced itself to the world.

Forty-nine dead trees have just been planted in Manhattan’s Madison Square Park. What looks at first like a pretty serious landscaping accident is actually an art installation by Maya Lin that’s been created in order to highlight the effects of climate change.

Back in November (which was approximately 47 years ago, checking the old internal calendar), Late Show host Stephen Colbert roundly humiliated the former leader of the free world. No, not Obama’s immediate successor in the White House at the time—Colbert did that pretty much nightly. Nope, it was 44th President Of The…

April marked the 35th anniversary of the Chernobyl disaster—a solemn, terrifying occasion made even more severe by its overlap with another deadly, global microscopic crisis. And while tourists and researchers are now permitted to visit the 1000-square mile Exclusion Zone (including the nuclear plant’s actual control…

The media and anyone who’s been active online in the past decade have all been reckoning with their mistreatment of Britney Spears in the early 2000s while the pop star was going through a mental health crisis and trapped in an emotionally abusive dynamic with her father. As a direct result, many people are looking…

Donald Glover has given us two excellent seasons of Atlanta (with two more finally on the way)—a bold, provocative series that’s simultaneously hilarious, deeply unsettling, and really moving and lovely. An episode centering on Zazie Beetz’s Van feels as compelling and cinematic as the famous “Teddy Perkins”. episode,…

In 2014, Percival R. Lugue was awarded a Guinness World Record for owning the “largest collection of fast food restaurant toys.” At the time, Lugue had 10,000 plastic tchotchkes—already a frightening number of tiny, faintly greasy-smelling objects to pack into your living space. Now, apparently encouraged by…

For rich white people aghast at facing consequences for their actions for a change, Fox News presents an irresistibly cushy, hair-stroking landing spot. That’s where, this week, renowned horse racing magnate Bob Baffert turned when one of his horses, Kentucky Derby winner Medina Spirit, got busted for doping. Or,…

In a clear acknowledgement that it needs to right the wrong of centuries spent luring unsuspecting travelers into the domain of a bloodsucking monster, a Romanian town is now offering free COVID vaccines to visitors of the not-at-all-ominous Bran Castle.
